just wondering my springer pup has a thing about going next to my xmas tree now it is a rear one could this be confusing him a little ?cheers john

im in lancashire pal burnley to be exact.

Thank you all for the advise I will certainly be having a look for the book you recommend as I've asked a few guys who I have seen local used the dogs for pigeon and they dont take me serious only being 21 so I do appreciate the advice. Also Oscar is just 12 weeks so trying to let him grow in him self aswell .

I hope he will be recovering rabbits for me he is just getting the hang of coming back. im using a clicker to recall him to me as advised by a user here (ETO) but he is also a pet his crate will arrive today so going to start getting him comfortable in there final jab in 2weeks yesterday.

thanks pal just need these jabs sorted then i can get him outside on the long lead as weve got a nice big feild outside our house and let his confidence grow hes really unsure about the world at the moment and my beige cant take to much puppy puddles but soon as we bring me in he pees like hes holding it for the house if you have any tips you have for this would b much appreciated cheers john.

hi im having a similar problem with my springer pup i picked up on monday he seems very insecure when you approach he lowers himself hopefully he going to come out his shell how is your doin with house training ?

Oh I will be there's been a few cases of vanishing pups from gardens sorry to hear about yours he's booked in for his last jabs and microchip tomorrow. for 12 quid its worth that piece of mind.

ive settled on a name oscar suits him well hes only just started playing with his chew ropes so long way to go but should be fun.

After reading the forums for a while and searching for a pup ive finally found mine not got a name for him yet but hes 12 weeks and hes shy outside and on the lead its the first day here from the kennels thos so early days, but hopefully have the basics of retreaving by the time my fac is complete and back but any tips on training ect would be much appreciated. cheers john do you remember yours at that age?
